Getting Started

Everything you need to go from sign-up to running your first event with A-Listed.

What is A-Listed?

A-Listed is member management software for social meetup groups. It replaces the spreadsheets, group chats, and manual email threads that most organizers rely on with a single tool for managing members, events, RSVPs, attendance, and applications.

Each group gets its own subdomain — yourgroup.alisted.app — with a moderator-facing app for the organizer and a member-facing app for everyone else.

Create your account

1. Go to alisted.app and click Get Started You'll be taken to the registration page.
2. Enter your email and a display name This creates your personal account. You'll use this email to sign in.
3. Choose a subdomain slug This is your group's address: yourslug.alisted.app. It can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. You can change it later from Settings.
4. Enter your group name This is the display name shown to members on your landing page and in emails.
5. Click Create Group A-Listed creates your org, seeds your account with a 30-day free trial, and redirects you to the setup wizard.

Setup wizard

The first time you sign in, A-Listed walks you through five setup steps. Every step except the first can be skipped and completed later.

1. Basics — group name and subdomain Pre-filled from registration. Edit if needed.
2. Logo Upload a square image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP). Shown in the sidebar and on your public landing page.
3. Invite a co-host Optionally assign a Co-Host role to an existing member. Co-hosts can create and manage events but don't have access to member data.
4. Application form Customize the questions prospective members answer when applying to join. You can add, remove, and reorder fields here or any time from the Moderator tab.
5. Inactivity thresholds Set how long a member can go without RSVPing or attending before A-Listed flags them for outreach. Defaults are 9 months (RSVP warning) and 12 months (attendance alert).

Your first members

There are two ways to get members into A-Listed:

Applications (recommended for new groups)

Share your application link — yourslug.alisted.app/apply — with prospective members. They fill out your form and submit. You review applications in the Applications tab and approve or reject each one. Approved applicants receive a welcome email with a link to set up their account.

CSV import (recommended for existing groups)

If you're migrating an existing member list, go to Members → Import. Paste or upload a CSV, map the columns, preview the result, and commit. Imported members are created without accounts — they receive an invitation to sign in when you're ready.

Your first event

1. Open the Events tab and tap + Fill in the title, date, time, venue, and an optional description.
2. Publish the event Members with accounts will see it in their Events tab immediately.
3. Manage RSVPs Members RSVP from their app. You can also add or remove RSVPs manually from the event detail screen.
4. Take attendance on the night Open the event and tap Take Attendance. Check off members as they arrive. Walk-ins can be added on the spot.
